What is the purpose of an alternating pressure mattress pad?
Providing relief from bed sores and other skin problems caused by extended bedrest, the alternating pressure mattress pad sits on top of your existing mattress and promotes increased circulation while reducing skin breakage. The variable pressure mattress pad evenly distributes body weight to relieve pressure spots for exceptional support and comfort. Perfect for immobilized or weak patients who cannot shift their weight frequently.
How do I know if my patient needs an alternating pressure mattress pad?
An alternating pressure mattress pad should be used for patients who are likely to spend more than 15 hours per day in bed or who are classified as medium to high risk of developing pressure ulcers, or bedsores. People at higher risk are typically: seriously ill; not mobile; have spinal cord injury; do not eat a proper diet; wear prosthesis; smoke; are incontinent of stool or urine; have diabetes; have COPD or heart failure; have Alzheimerās, Parkinsonās, or heart failure; or have a broken hip or have had a recent hip surgery.Ā
How do I clean my alternating pressure mattress?
To clean your mattress, first disconnect the compression pump from the electrical outlet. Use a lint-free cloth with mild detergent or disinfectant solution to wipe down the cover and air bladders as needed. Carefully dry the mattress with a soft towel and allow the mattress to air dry completely before replacing the cover. The mattress can also be wiped down with alcohol wipes or light rubbing alcohol.

Let customers speak for us
From start to finish an excellent company to deal with, who took time to work out needs and suitability of scooter needed.
The demonstrator who came to our home was friendly, polite, a professional who took time to ensure the scooter was suitable and safe for our needs - no push tactics, pressure for a quick sale. When the scooter was delivered - we were provided with all paperwork and again taken through the features of the scooter. Professional and friendly, it was a pleasure to deal with this company.
The scooter is superb and does everything as advertised. This has made such a difference to our lives.
Highly recommend
Great experience from start to finish had a home visit with a very helpful sales rep who let me test drive the scooter and took the time to explain everything to me and was not pushy when it came to my dissition so great company to get scooter from thanks
I love this scooter. It has opened up life for me again. I am a 'small generator' (means I have photovoltaic cells on my roof) and so the electricity to charge the battery cots me very little. I cannot afford an electric car, but this scooter allows me to travel all around the city I live in at a very low cost. Yes, it's not an option when it is raining, but otherwise it is ideal.
I use my Quango to enable me to carry out my hobby which is videography, and on this day I went to Devils Point in Plymouth and roamed around Royal William Yard it was another good day out and Q performed well.
ā¦This bed helps our patient to find the perfect position for sleep or relaxation. It relieves pressure points and can even be used to comfortably elevate him in bed. Shipping and set up was fast and
I bought this for my brother. It has made it possible for him to get around his house easier. The wheelchair didnāt fit through the doorway of the bathrooms, and this does. He did remove the armrests to give him more room through doorways. Great investment!
I had the good fortune to try out a friend's power chair before I purchased this one. My try out was in a crowded event and I was impressed with the comfort, sturdiness, and ease of control. I received a courtesy call from Bargains Buster after I placed my order and we set up the best means of delivery. I received the chair in 4 days. It was well packed and every thing was in perfect order. I have since used the new one and find it to be all I expected. Well worth the cost
My wife liked it so much she rode it for 2 hours trying to master the joy stick. After crashing into a few household items in the house, she finally went outside to try her luck there. She finally figured out the joystick and is now a happy camper.
This is just what I wanted. It is very sleek and modern looking making me feel young. I I love my chair and appreciated the help from the team that works here.
This is a good scooter. So far we have only used it on a couple of occasions, once at the park and once to go to a museum, but in both instances it showed out very well, smooth of operation, quiet, strong, and comfortable. We have only charged the battery once so far, havent needed another charge with just trying it out around the house and the 2 Read more about review stating Good Scooter at a good price!outings. I think this will be a good buy overall.
Not only did the FTS 400 meet my urgent requirements, but it also arrived in a timely manner, exceeding my expectations and providing the much-needed assistance I desperately sought
